Also you can view results others have posted here: http://browser.primatelabs.com/
(search by model, processor type, etc. and view the range of results expected.

This type of metric is much more meaningful for comparisons than 'GigaHertz' -- processor speed.Going simply by CPU speed is like comparing a sports car to a semi-trailer truck.Your specific needs will depend on whether you just want to get somewhere fast, or have a lot of stuff to haul.

About Me

I have worked mostly with small companies / start-ups, building whatever is required and chasing moving targets. I still do some of this, keeping up on technology, tools, and trying to stay bleeding edge. (There's too many edges though.)

I like to know how things work, including the internet, physics, science, chemistry, biology.
